Chapter 360 Crime Scene
The plane first arrived at Ushuaia, the southernmost city on the American Continent.
It is the nearest large city to Antarctica.
It is also the first stop for many countries to visit Antarctica.
It also provides supplies for many ships and bases conducting scientific research in Antarctica.
After flying here, you still need to rest and adapt for a few days.
The main reason is that old Weiland is in poor health.
Luke also gave him a symbolic check.
Modern medicine has no good solution for cancer.
After ensuring that the old man's condition would not suddenly worsen, Luke also let him adapt here for a few days.
Then Luke took Lena and Johnny to Ushuaia to taste local snacks and delicacies made by chefs from all over the world.
Although it has a unique flavor, it is not suitable for frequent consumption.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the seafood here is too cold.
It's okay for men, but it's not friendly to women.
Luke also tried to persuade Lena, but Lena didn't believe it.
But after a few days, during my period, the pain was horrible...
Solving this problem is simple. Just boil water with ginger and dates.
But you can’t buy jujube here, only ginger…
Lena drank several bowls of wine in pain, and then she gradually felt better.
Then she chased Luke to ask questions about Chinese medicine.
Luke really couldn't explain it to her.
When it was almost time to set off, Wieland gathered everyone together.
And we also introduced a black woman who was an explorer.
He was also a consultant for this expedition.
The female explorer named Lex brought everyone together.
I explained to everyone what they need to pay attention to when exploring Antarctica.
She is in charge of this expedition team.
Naturally, she was also the one who prepared the equipment for the adventure.
Luke found her afterwards, first explained his identity, and then told her that Mr. Wayland and Lena were not responsible for Johnny's equipment.
Lex was very respectful when he learned that young Luke was a doctor.
But she couldn't agree to Luke's request.
Luke didn't make things difficult for her. After letting her look at the equipment he had prepared for Weland and his men, she remained silent for a long time.
Finally, I have nothing to say, so I can only say:
“The most expensive is not necessarily the best…”
Luke just looked at her and smiled without arguing with her.
Old man Weiland didn't say anything when he found out.
In this regard, he relatively still trusts Luke.
Johnny looked at the equipment Luke gave him and began to doubt his life.
"Boss, ... is this ... is this appropriate?"
Luke had a metal brace installed on his back.
Looking at the shape, it is easy to tell that this is a chair that can carry a person on its back.
Luke spread his hands.
"You will need to carry Mr. Weiland on your back at the critical moment. Don't worry, he is a generous man..."
When Johnny heard what Luke said, his expression immediately changed and he smiled.
"Boss, don't worry. I can carry him back to Los Angeles even if I have to. I promise."
The backpack prepared for Lena was much smaller.
It is only two sizes larger than an ordinary backpack.
Luke's own is similar, but with two more plug-in packs.
One is a first aid kit and the other is an ammunition kit.
Johnny was still given two shotguns, one in the shape of a pistol and the other a short-barreled bullpup type.
Considering that he was facing aliens, Luke only brought three guns: White Snake and Seraph Jon.
Lena asked Luke curiously.
"There aren't many people in places like Antarctica, and there are no large wild animals. Why do you carry a gun? Are you hunting?"
Luke didn't bother to explain to her and just smiled and nodded.
"Get ready to taste the penguin..."
"Oh my god, penguins are so cute...how could you..."
"OK, you can walk away while I eat."
"What? You can't even think about it..."
The day of departure has arrived.
Weiland and his men boarded a scientific research vessel converted from an icebreaker.
The destination is an abandoned 19th century whaling station.
This place has been abandoned for a long time, but because of the weather and temperature in Antarctica, it looks like it has just been abandoned.
There is no dust here, everything is frozen.
Some items and food were frozen into ice sculptures, as if those people had suddenly left here.
The expedition members arrived and began moving their equipment.
With Lena accompanying Wayland, Luke took Johnny into the whaling station.
"Wow, Boss, it looks like those people just left here."
Luke looked around and said to Johnny with a smile:
"Yes, he did leave suddenly."
Johnny looked at Luke with a questioning look.
"How did you know that, boss?"
Luke pointed to the dark brown spots on the ground and the wall and said to Johnny:
"These are traces of blood. This is actually a large-scale murder scene."
"Wardfark?"
"Haha, don't doubt my professionalism."
Johnny then asked Luke with a serious look on his face.
"Boss, do you want to notify those people?"
Luke shook his head.
"They won't believe it. Besides, it's been a century since this happened. If I tell them, they'll just think it's a joke."
Then his expression turned serious.
"You should also be careful and follow me closely. Don't be more than 3 meters away from me after you go down."
Johnny nodded dumbly.
“Why 3 meters?”
Luke sighed.
Did this guy damage his brain from playing fast cars when he was a kid?
"I can easily hold you at 2 meters."
Johnny smiled.
"It's okay, Boss. I can always hold you back."
The two walked and talked until they came to the big hole where the heat source was detected. It was pitch black and bottomless.
He looked at the edge of the cave.
Luke's expression was serious.
This wasn't formed naturally, nor did it collapse suddenly. This was created by an energy weapon...
I looked up at the sky, but didn't see anything.
But outside the Earth's low-Earth orbit, there is a huge spaceship watching there.
Luke didn't ask Lilith to send out the drone this time.
On the one hand, the weather conditions in Antarctica do not allow it and it will not have much effect.
Secondly, he didn't know the background of this group of aliens and didn't dare to act rashly.
Since Master Gu Yi has an agreement with them, it means that this group of people should not act recklessly.
The danger may come from that underground pyramid.
Master Wang said that they came here for a trial, which means there must be some danger in the pyramid.
However, he did not say anything to Johnny beside him, nor did he intend to alert the expedition team.
He just had to keep Wilander.
It seems that the old man has lost his mind. He is betting on such an unknown thing in an attempt to solve his illness. He is really trying all kinds of treatments in desperation.
The expedition team has already measured the depth of the cave, which is six hundred meters long, and the straight-line distance from the ground is nearly one hundred meters.
The surface of the pyramid below is only one-third of it, and the remaining huge space is still underground.
The explorers threw a burning stick down until there was no more light or sound.
Finally, it was decided to let the personnel go down the rope first, and then install the machinery and equipment below.
Wayland now seems very excited, and Luke and Lena are trying to dissuade him because of his body.
But Weiland's words silenced both of them.
"My life is almost over now. With this great discovery, I am willing to die now."
Luke turned and looked at Johnny.
"I understand, boss."
